Giamatti loses soul

The first trailer for the surreal, Sophie Barthes written and directed sci fi drama COLD SOULS is out and it's more eccentric than flat out mindfuck. In it, Paul Giamatti playing a character named Paul Giamatti reads an ad about a company putting souls into storage and decides to give it a try to help him with his acting. When he starts experiencing disturbing side effects, however, he goes on the hunt to reclaim his soul. The film received mostly good buzz at this year's Sundance. Check out the trailer below. It opens August 7th in limited release.

Looks like Charlie Kaufman meets "American Splendor." David Strathairn looks pretty wacky, and I never imagined him doing anything but play the straight man. Great to see Paul Giamatti doing another quirky, self-deprecating role. And as himself no less.
